Hrafnkell Haraldsson, a social liberal with leanings toward centrist politics has degrees in history and philosophy. His interests include, besides history and philosophy, human rights issues, freedom of choice, religion, and the precarious dichotomy of freedom of speech and intolerance. He brings a slightly different perspective to his writing, being that he is neither a follower of an Abrahamic faith nor an atheist but a polytheist, a modern-day Heathen who follows the customs and traditions of his Norse ancestors. He maintains his own blog, A Heathen’s Day, which deals with Heathen and Pagan matters, and Mos Maiorum Foundation www.mosmaiorum.org, dedicated to ethnic religion. He has also contributed to NewsJunkiePost, GodsOwnParty and Pagan+Politics.

Help Us Fight Corporate News: Donate To PoliticusUSA

PoliticusUSA is 100% people-powered politics. We are independent, meaning we aren’t beholden to a think tank, venture capitalists, a board full of wealthy people with an agenda, corporate or political relationships.

We write the facts for the people. Whatever policy or opinion we present is because we believe it is best for the people of this country, not for the billionaires and corporations.

We speak for those who don’t have a seat at the table and we hold power accountable no matter what side of the aisle it’s on. We are deliberately outside of the beltway.

Right now, our ability to do this is being threatened by Silicon Valley, Trump’s attacks on a free press, and the corporate media. Pretty soon the only news left will be that funded by huge mega-donors and corporate owners, with an agenda that doesn’t always speak for the people.

We need your help. If you can spare $2 to help fund our efforts, it will only take a minute. Every contribution you make goes directly to paying for independent journalism.
